Years ago the White Sox use to have Camera Night. You were able to take photos of White Sox players before the game. You were actually able to go on the field where you would take your pictures. It was a nice promotion. I wish they would bring it back.

I like the idea and I know this doesn't affect me anymore, but what does this mean for Kids Days? Are they still around?

I was wondering the same thing----my kids really enjoy all the kid-themed activities and entertainment for those games, this is a great move no matter what but if it has to come at the expense of kids days that takes it down a notch for me

Good job, Sox. The move to reduce parking rates is especially appreciated.

Absolutely! Part of me thinks that one of the reasons for the reduced parking on Sundays (and overall) is because the Red Line will be out of commission for most of next season. Maybe $10 parking on Sundays will entice more people to come out to the ballpark. I know that we'll definitely be driving to the ballpark on Sundays for that price!

So the Kids Days and $1 tickets are probably gone. So, if I used to take my daughter and a friend and bought a $40 lower deck ticket it would cost me $42 for all 3 of us. Now, if I want lower deck it will cost me $45 for all three of us. Once again, the Sox are spinning it like it is a great deal but it is actually about the same as the past.

As far as the autographs go, last year 3 of the 5 Kids Day autograph sessions were cancelled due to the heat (May and June) and a slight drizzle in August (even though a bunch of Mariners signed in the drizzle). And, the Fan Appreciation Day autograph session was cancelled because the players did not feel like signing (what I was told at Guest Relations).

LOL! I actually saw Gallas' Beatles band once by accident at Navy Pier while I was killing time befroe going into the Patti Smith concert there. It was actually okay.

Switching topics, the players need to be kicked in the behind by the Chairman to sign autographs on Kids Days. I don't think they have to like doing it, but they need to do it. I feel sorry for the public relations people for having to deal with the prima donnas in this regard. Just get on the field and sign for a half hour, you big babies!
